Getting kids of any age to put their toys away can be a true struggle, so take heart. Kids are living in-the-moment, and often don’t notice clutter ~ even though they function better with calm and order.

As parents, we get to help them learn to put things away, just like we help them learn to brush their teeth and tie their shoes.

In the long run, you are giving them a skill that will serve them well as adults. In the short term, you are gaining some of your sanity back.

Soul-declutterer Lauren Rosenfeld says, in her book Breathing Room,”Think of a beautiful resort ~ one with those gorgeous patios that are open to ocean breezes… where someone can truly relax, unwind, and completely let go. … Did the people who designed those spaces do so without intention? Of course not. A hotel without intention is not going to draw anyone…”

And so it is with our homes and offices. Without intention, clarity is a struggle. Without intention, clutter and frustration accumulate easily.

So what reasons WILL more likely propel you into positive action? Click play to find out :-).
